Maureen Dowd has been eating jazz cookies again. One time she met Robin Williams, which makes her think about her friend Michael Kelly, who later died covering the war in Iraq, and thats why Hillary Clinton is a monster. Wait, what?
....
Hint: one of those people is currently vice president of the United States, and is possibly maybe thinking about running for president again too! But when Maureen Dowd remembers her fallen comrade because she met Robin Williams once, she thinks about Hillary Clinton. When doesnt Maureen Dowd think about Hillary Clinton? Never. She never doesnt think about Hillary Clinton. Eggs on toast? Hillary Clinton. Caught in the rain? Hillary Clinton. Watching unexplainably popular Disney flicks? Hillary Clinton. Eating Chinese takeout with Game of Thrones on in the background? Hillary Clinton. Watching a TMC marathon of The Birds or whatever? Hillary Clinton. Soused at a drunken Irish Thanksgiving? Well, if that doesnt put every one of us in mind of Hillary Clinton, I dont know what would.

As our interview ended, I was telling him about my friend Michael Kellys idea for a 1-900 number, not one to call Asian beauties or Swedish babes, but where youd have an amorous chat with a repressed Irish woman. Williams delightedly riffed on the caricature, playing the role of an older Irish woman answering the sex line in a brusque brogue, ordering a horny caller to go to the devil with his impure thoughts and disgusting desire.
I couldnt wait to play the tape for Kelly, who doubled over in laughter.
So when I think of Williams, I think of Kelly. And when I think of Kelly, I think of Hillary, because Michael was the first American reporter to die in the Iraq invasion, and Hillary Clinton was one of the 29 Democratic senators who voted to authorize that baloney war.

TPM reported on this, too. I mean, this is as bad as Rush Limbaugh politicizing Robin Williams's death--using it as a springboard to attack "liberal" mindsets.
Maureen Dowd is simply crazy with Hillary Clinton derangement syndrome. It's insane to try to convince anyone that there is a rational connection between his death and ... um, Hillary Clinton. And you don't even have to be a fan of HRC's to think that.
But I've known MoDo is nuts since the early 2000s.

I wonder: does she even do her own typing anymore?

And Dowd is a so-and-so because apparently scum is the company she likes to keep.
